Describe two different causes of the force of attraction in a chemical bond?

Answer 1

You an have several chemical bonds, intermolecular ( between molecules) and intramolecular ( within molecules) bonds. The main INTRAmolecular chemical bonds are

Ionic - the taking/giving of electrons between atoms gives them a charge, they are therefor electomagnetically attracted to each other, this only occurs between metals.

Covalent bonds- atoms share electrons, occurs between nonmetals, this would also be an electromagnetic force, the atoms electron clouds are sort of entwined.

Metallic bonding- sorry I don't know alot about it.

Then you have your main intermolecular bonding which can be divided into polar and non polar molecular. For intermolecular bonds like attracts like.

Answer 2

1. Ionic bonds are formed due to the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions. In this type of bond, electrons are transferred from one atom to another, creating positively and negatively charged ions that are held together by their opposite charges.

2. Covalent bonds are formed when atoms share electrons in order to achieve a stable electron configuration. The force of attraction in a covalent bond arises from the shared pair of electrons being attracted to the positively charged nuclei of both atoms involved.

Answer 3

First: polarity in the different atoms.(one positive & one negetive which).

second:fullfilment of octet or duplet of atoms.

Answer 4

The force between atoms within a molecule is a chemical or intramolecular force.

^ Hope this helped. ^

Answer 5

- attraction between ions with different charges
- need to form an octet of electrons
